The car - 1974 914 2.0, converted to Dual Weber carb by a PO. It starts right up once or twice a week for a drive when weather dry. Runs and drives fine. Surprisingly so - love it.
The problem - just after some hard acceleration, when the Webers are at most sonorous and pleasing, I can smell fuel in the car with windows shut and targa top attached. Smell goes away fairly quickly, but is a bit disconcerting since the car is new to me and could have some issue related to fuel delivery of which I am not aware. No smell of fuel when car in garage and engine not running, or when idling. Anyone experience this with Weber carbs? Any other thoughts on origin of smell and/or a fix (if an issue) much appreciated. Thanks Shawn |
